Quick answer
WatchAndreessen had 3 solo tackles in 2026, ranking LB189 through 4 games. From LB174 to LB189 through 4 games is a dip in pace, not a locked finish. The 2026 projection is thin — only roster him if you need the upside. Treat this as a watch, not a hold-forever — confirm the dip is real before adding more exposure.
